Following in the footsteps of other world capitals, Seoul in South Korea too is organising its first Durga Puja this year. The Bengali diaspora in South Korea wanted the puja to be held in proper Seoul, capital of the country, but the city fathers said it would be difficult to organise four days of festivity in the busy city.

"So we are organising it at the Uijambu Shree Radha Krishna Temple in Pocheon city, just an hour's drive from Seoul," Chandan of the newly-floated South Korea Durga Puja Committee said.
